NEW RECORDING for 2023!
I imagined that if I were to have had a conversation with Mary and Joseph just after the birth of the beloved Christ child, this is what they may have said. This song features CJ Chacon performing the voice of Joseph. My heartfelt gratitude to you, CJ, for lending your beautiful voice to this project! Also, a big thank you to Bob Emmet at BEstudios.ca.rr.com for the EPIC orchestration. And, my thanks to Richard Hurst at Studio 770 for his ultra fine engineering on this recording!

New for 2023!!
What would the Star of Bethlehem say if we could hear it's bright message?
I feel such gratitude to Bob Emmet for his beautiful piano work and instrumentation on this song! He came to Studio 770 to play live with my vocal recording session! He also wrote the angels' harmonies in the chorus!

CHRISTMAS 2022 Insomniacs BEWARE! This tune will have you moving with your feet all night long! You'll want to turn up the volume!!
NOTE: A "Cavaquinho" is a small, four-stringed guitar resembling a ukulele, popular in Brazil and Portugal for samba music ensembles. This sizzlin' track was produced by my favorite "go to" music man, Bob Emmet (www.bobemmet.com).
I believe I wrote the quintessential Christmas song because it can legitimately be sung all year long! I love the feel and message of this simple tune.
Thank you, Jenn, Cam, Ryan, Keith, and Dave, for all the great years singing together in The davElliott5! I so love you guys!
Background vocals arranged by Dave Elliott. Rhythm section arranged and performed by Bob Emmet (www.bobemmet.com).
This is a more formal tune I wrote that was arranged by the late and beloved Dave Elliott for the DavElliott5. I told Dave that when I wrote it, especially the bridge, I could hear the rich harmonies like you hear in "Snowfall" by Manhattan Transfer. I think he nailed it when he arranged our harmonies on this one! The piano was arranged and performed by Bob Emmet (www.bobemmet.com).
If you couldn't already tell nothing inspires me like Christmas! I feel like a little child all over again as I anticipate that day! Rhythm section arranged and performed by Bob Emmet (www.bobemmet.com). Background vocals arranged by Dave Elliott.
New in 2022! I love a good reason to write a new tune! So, when the Faith-based Life Coaches Academy announced their 2022 retreat theme "Shine: Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" I was all over it!! A special "THANK YOU" to music producer, Bob Emmet, for his special touches and going the extra mile with me when I asked for "something more" to fill some spaces. He took it to a whole new level with his creative touches and made it all work so beautifully! (www.bobemmet.com)
